Thermal-magnetic trip units
Derating
Thermal-magnetic trip units employ a temperature-dependent bimetal to provide overload
protection. The setting values are calibrated at an ambient temperature of +50 °C.
Compensation factors must be applied for ambient temperatures other than +50 °C.
You will find more information and derating factors in chapter Derating and temperature
compensation (Page 628).
